A khata app for the running credit mechanics and garages carry
Mechanics buy parts against a job, not against a fixed schedule, and settle once the customer pays them. That timing gap is the whole business.
An auto parts shop's biggest customers are usually mechanics and garages buying parts for a specific repair job, who pay once their own customer settles with them. That dependency on someone else's payment cycle makes accurate, dated records essential.
Parts bought against a specific job
Use the notes field to record which vehicle or job a part was for, so when a mechanic settles several jobs at once, you can both check the entries against what was actually completed.
Credit that waits on the mechanic's own customer
A garage often cannot pay you until their customer pays them. Record the credit when the part leaves your shop and the payment whenever it actually arrives, without losing track of how long an account has been open.
Bills attached for warranty and part-number disputes
Attach the invoice to the entry so a warranty claim or a part-number dispute can be checked against the original bill months later.
Your own supplier account for stock
What you owe your parts distributor sits in the same business as a separate supplier ledger, next to what mechanics owe you.
Common questions
Can I note which job or vehicle a part was for?
Yes, using the notes field on each entry, which is searchable later when reconciling a mechanic's account.
Can I track a long-running account for a regular garage?
Yes, the balance accumulates over as many jobs as needed until the garage settles.
Can I attach the original bill for a warranty claim later?
Yes, up to five photos or PDFs per entry, which stay attached to that specific purchase.
